Enjoy this spectacular walk without the logistical headaches.

"Heart of the Cotswold Walk"

The 99.7-mile route is divided into 10 sections of approximately 10 miles each and is walked on the third Saturday of each month from May to the following February.

The walk is organised by the Cotswold Voluntary Wardens enabling people to come together in groups to complete one of the longer trail across the Cotswolds National Landscape. Each walk is led by two Cotswold Voluntary Wardens who are familiar with the route and provide information on aspects of interest. As with all Cotswold Warden Walks, no dogs are allowed.

Please note that a charge is made to cover the cost of transport.

In addition, walkers are invited to make a voluntary donation to the Countryside Fund which helps us to continue to provide our guided and self-guided walks, as well as helping maintain the trails around the Cotswolds.

The walk must be pre-booked and paid for in advance. The walk are very popular – anyone who is interested is advised to get their name on the waiting list for future walks as early as possible.

An Important Message From DEFRA: Reporting dead wild birds

You should call the Defra helpline (03459 33 55 77) if you find:

🦉one or more dead bird of prey or owl
🦢Three or more dead gulls or wild waterfowl (swans, geese and ducks)
🦃Five or more dead birds of any species

Do not touch or pick up any dead or visibly sick birds that you find. For further information see the government advice on bird flu for the public.

After contacting the Defra helpline (03459 33 55 77) to report the dead wild birds, if the birds are not required for surveillance purposes, members of the public should follow the advice below for the disposal of dead garden birds.

Disposal in household or municipal waste refuse

Wear disposable protective gloves when picking up and handling dead wild birds (if disposable gloves are not available, a plastic bag can be put over hands as a make-shift gloves). Put the dead bird in a plastic bag (if plastic bags were used over the hands, the bag can be turned back on itself and tied).
Tie up your first bag.
Put the first plastic bag, with the bird in, into a second plastic bag preferably leak proof. Care should be taken not to contaminate the outside of the bag.

Remove gloves by turning them inside out and then place them in the second plastic bag. (If unsure how to do this, take a look at the Health and Safety Executive video on avoiding contamination when removing gloves)
Tie second bag and disposed of it, in the normal household waste (outside).

Be aware that birds may have Avian influenza (bird flu).

Jack Cornish, head of paths for Ramblers, called the U-turn “a cause for celebration”. “This welcome decision means that, with the help of our brilliant volunteers, we’ll be able to make sure the most important and useful paths are added back to the map and protected for future generations,” Cornish said.

“As well as being an important part of our history, our path network makes a huge difference to our health and wellbeing. We’re more aware than ever of how good it is for us to be able to easily get outdoors into green spaces, and this is a step in the right direction for the government towards making it a reality for more people to enjoy the benefits of walking and connecting with nature.”

Walkers and horse riders had been given until 1 January 2026 to apply to save unmapped rights of way through private land
